Reviews
From the outset, Origin makes you want to know how it all ends--and begins...Abu-Jaber certainly has her finger on the pulse of what makes a memorable thriller: smart, spare writing, strong character development and nail-nibbling suspense. Setting the story during a long, dark upstate New York winter amplifies the foreboding, elegiac tone. -- Olivia Barker (USA Today) Beautiful prose makes this one special. -- People A mystery of cold beauty and dark isolation, written with crystalline precision...haunting and compelling...It's a little film noir, a bit independent-woman-detective thriller, and winningly fresh in its approach. -- Amy Driscoll (Miami Herald) [A] gripping mystery. -- Elissa Schappell (Vanity Fair) With prose as cool as a razor yet as wildly impressionistic as a fever dream, Diana Abu-Jaber takes us deeply into Lena Dawson and her search for a killer that must first begin in the lost forest of her own psyche. Origin is a gripping exploration of the elusive nature of identity and one's own remembered past, the innocent and guilty alike. This is a superbly written and utterly compelling novel. -- Andre Dubus III, author of Gone So Long and House of Sand and Fog Riveting...Heartbreaking questions--of mothers and daughters, and of love withheld and given--lie at the heart of this thoughtful, multilayered novel. -- Adam Woog (Seattle Times) A dark, noirish literary mystery with an entirely unique detective-heroine. The characters stayed with me long after I had finished the book. I'm not sure I've ever read anything like it, which alone is reason to celebrate. -- Anita Shreve, author of The Stars Are Fire Abu-Jaber is a gifted and graceful writer, deft at evoking a scene and creating pace that almost turns the pages itself...This novel's characters are complex and vividly drawn. -- Jessica Treadway (Chicago Tribune) Origin is a haunting story, icy cold in its upstate New York setting but glowing with the unusual brightness of its heroine...What propels Lena's story is the delicate, balanced, engrossing way Abu-Jaber perfectly intertwines Lena's personal story with that of the case she's investigating and sets both threads in a Syracuse so vivid you envision it without even trying. -- Molly Templeton (Eugene Weekly)
Synopsis
Orphaned as a child, out of place as an adult, gifted with delicate and terrifying powers of intuition, Lena finds herself playing a critical role in the case. But then there is the mystery of her own childhood to solve....Could the improbable deaths of a half-dozen babies be somehow connected to her own improbable survival? The beauty and originality of Diana Abu-Jaber's writing are here accompanied by deft, page-turning narrative tension and atmosphere, tugging the reader to an unforgettable conclusion., A fingerprint expert's investigation of a series of crib deaths leads her back to the mystery of her own childhood. Lena is a fingerprint expert at a crime lab in the small city of Syracuse, New York, where winters are cold and deep. Suddenly, a series of crib deaths--indistinguishable from SIDS except for the fevered testimony of one distraught mother with connections in high places--draws the attention of the police and the national media and raises the possibility of the inconceivable: could there be a serial infant murderer on the loose? Orphaned as a child, out of place as an adult, gifted with delicate and terrifying powers of intuition, Lena finds herself playing a critical role in the case.
